 | | Gypsy: <...he winds up getting his Queen trapped.> Looks to me that the queen can escape easy eough (17...Qg4). But the rook is gone and the mate on g2 did not materialize. |

| | patzer2: <Gypsy> If 17...Qg4, then 18. Bf5+ (double attack) wins the Queen and the game. |

Just the same as in Dutch. |

| Mar-28-11 | | jbtigerwolf: Black still has a ghost of a chance, his checkmate shot being with the white-squared Bishop pointing to h1 and his Rook on the g-file. A major and 3 minors vs 3 majors and a minor, but no harm in playing on while still a chance. White can't immediately finish things, but it's not as if things are going to get bogged down. There's some enjoyable tactical play to be had in a dire situation, so there's no real reason to resign. |

| Sep-15-11 | | chillowack: jbtigerwolf, Black is down a queen and a rook for two minor pieces, and the mating pattern you describe is easily parried; therefore resignation was not premature. However: there are cases in chess where people do resign prematurely, and it's good that you are learning to analyze positions to try and figure that out. |
